Melissa A. Davis, age 32, of East Helena, passed away, Wednesday, July 3, 2013. She was surrounded by her beloved pets Sugar Baby, Sheba, and Charlie.
Melissa was born in Helena on October 7, 1980 to Glen and Gloria Davis. She attended East Helena Elementary, Helena and Capital High Schools.
Melissa was the beautiful baby girl of the family with 3 older brothers. She enjoyed fishing, camping and boating with her family as a young child. She loved animals from the start and had a quite collection including reptiles.
Melissa never met a stranger and had a magnetic personality. If she was there, you knew you were going to have a great time. She was extremely loyal to her family and friends. She loved with her whole heart. If she loved you, she would walk an extra mile for you.
Melissa was blessed with the birth of her son, Joe, in 1999. “He was the best thing that ever happened in my life” she said. She loved him dearly.

Melissa,
I don’t know where to begin, except to say I love you so very much. You had such a beautiful heart & soul. We used to laugh about the distance in miles between us, saying the world couldn’t handle us as a team…I’d do anything to see you right now. We bonded and had so much in common I feel like I have lost another piece of me. Please watch over my child until I get there. Help keep our family strong, I need you now. Rest in peace, my beautiful cousin. Until we meet again.
Christopher Clark says
Melissa Our hearts are broke
with weeping tears
losing a loved one
so young in years.
We look up above
and wonder why
when all we can do
is break down and cry.
We will miss you
in each, and every way
till we meet again,
we will love you, everyday.
Give us strength and courage
to make it through
for there will never be another,
that’s greater than you.
LOVE YOU!!!!
Jeni Morgan says
My dear sweet cousin Melissa, how can I possibly express in words how deeply you have touched everyone who was blessed enough to know you…I look back now on the conversations that we have shared only regretting the fact that we should have had so many more. You were such a strong woman, who always had encouraging words to share, and I heart as big as the sun. We all love you and will miss you dearly…..but I know my dad will be glad to have someone to pester (watch out for a turkey peeping over a log):) I pray that this is not the end of your life, but that its just the beginning….you are now in a place were no burdens are allowed to pass through, that has no more sickness, no more pain, and the peace flows like a river…
Lisa Lopez (Popp) says

Davis family,
I was in complete shock and denial when I heard of Melissa’s passing. My heart hurts for you all at this tragic loss. I will forever miss my friend. I wish there were words to comfort you. Though I know she is watching over all of us in a wonderful place where we shall meet again.
